› For vertically installed windows or casement doors with sliding
hardware in building construction, these are lifted and shifted
horizontally by operating a window handle. In the case of special
designs, the sashes can also be pushed togehter in to a bundle
when slid.
› When closing and locking the window, the window must lock in
place and the window weatherseal should not permit the window
to remain unlocked and out of place.
Functionality when in open or ventilation positions
Opened window sashes, casement doors as well as windows and
casement door sashes in ventilation position (e.g. tilted position)
serve in a shielding capacity only. They do not meet the
requirements of:
› joint tightness
› sound insulation
› burglar-inhibiting
› watertightness
› thermal insulation
The properties listed only apply for window sashes and
casement doors with sliding hardware when locked.

The following symbols illustrate the risks presented by windows and
casement doors:

Cleaning informations
Regular cleaning is a prerequisite for preserving the service life and
functionality of the window. When cleaning the glass surfaces and
the other surfaces, also check the hardware components for
contamination and, if necessary clean with a damp cloth and a
pH-neutral cleaning agent. Only close the window or casement door
once the cleaned parts are dry.
To maintain the surface quality of the hardware components for the
intended use in the long-term and to avoid deterioration, the
following points must be observed:
Protection against corrosion:
› Ventilate the hardware and the rebate areas so that they are not
exposed to direct moisture or condensation (important during the
building stage).
› Clean the hardware components with a moist cloth only, avoid
permanent wetness!
Protection against soiling:
› The hardware should generally be kept free of deposits (e.g. salt in
coastal areas) and soiling. Immediately remove soiling during the
building stage caused by plaster, mortar or similar with water.
› Protect hardware and striker plates from contamination (dust,
dirt, paint, etc.).
Protection against corrosive, acidiferous cleaning agents:
› Clean the hardware with a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild,
pH-neutral cleaning agent in diluted form only. Never use
aggressive, acidic or solvent-based or abrasive cleaners (scouring
pads, steel wool, etc.). This can result in damage to the hardware!
› If hardware is damaged in this manner, it may impair the function
and/or impair the safety-relevant characteristics, and as a
consequence, this can result in personal injury and damage of
other items.

Inspections End Users Certified
specialist
Check for free motion of the
slide & tilt / parallel-stop unit and
the smooth running and position of
the handle in the closed position
(precise vertical position upwards)
and, if necessary, arrange for a
certified specialist to readjust the
slide & tilt / parallel-stop unit.
Check all hardware components
and striker plates for obvious
damage or wear (abrasion) and,
if necessary, arrange for replace-
ment by a certified specialist.
Check all moving hardware
components and striker plates for
proper function and lubricate /
oil them.
Check fixing screws and tighten
or replace as necessary.
Setting of the gasket compression
on the gear side, for standard and
hook drive gears.
Checking the gasket compression
for the locking cams or i.S. cams
and readjusting as necessary.
= only be undertaken by a certified specialist
